Mold Breaker ignores the effects of {{Abilities}} that could potentially affect the damage or effects of a move that its user executes. For example, a Pokémon with Mold Breaker can hit opponents that possess {{a|Levitate}} by using {{m|Earthquake}}. Mold Breaker applies regardless of target Pokémon, but only to moves executed by its user (so if two Pokémon in a [[Double Battle]] both know Earthquake, only the Pokémon with Mold Breaker can hit a Pokémon with Levitate).

When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses a move, even the effects of allies' Abilities (notably {{a|Flower Gift}}, {{a|Sweet Veil}}, {{a|Aroma Veil}} and {{a|Flower Veil}}) are ignored for the duration of that move. As such, if the move of a Pokémon with Mold Breaker triggers an Ability (such as {{a|Gooey}} or {{a|Cursed Body}}) or item (such as [[Destiny Knot]]), the Pokémon with Mold Breaker will not be protected by its allies' Abilities; likewise, if a Destiny Knot held by a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is activated during the use of its own move (such as in response to the target's {{a|Cute Charm}}), that target will not be protected by its allies' Aroma Veil. This also means that a Pokémon with Mold Breaker will not gain {{stat|Attack}} due to an ally's Flower Gift.
